What is Diabetes?Diabetes itself in Greek means frequent and copious passing of urine.

There are 2 forms of Diabetes:

1. Diabetes mellitus or sweet urine with frequent passage of urine2. Diabetes insipidus or abnormal volume of passage of urine with thirst

1. Diabetes mellitus is caused by a lack or decrease in the insulin hormone which is produced in the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. This results in the excess presence of blood sugar resulting in frequent passing of urine, thirst and loss of weight due to the loss of sugar in the urine.

There are 2 types of Diabetes mellitus:Type 1 –usually affects younger patients and require insulin injection for treatmentType 2 – affects the older patients and can be treated with oral medications or insulin injections.This is the commoner form of diabetes.

2. Diabetes Insidipus is due to the absence of the anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) secreted by the Pituitary gland.

It results in large volume of urine being passed and thirst following the loss of water in the urine.It is rare and can occur at any age and in both sexes.

When you use the term Diabetes you usually refer to Diabetes Mellitus which is a very common chronic disease of the elderly.

Diabetes insipidus is rarely seen.

Treatment for Diabetes mellitus and insipidus is completely different.

The causes, complications and treatment of the 2 conditions are separate and different.

To differentiate 2 conditions it is better to use the full name Diabetes mellitus or Diabetes insipidus.

Some estimates by medical research groups state that up to 20 million Americans suffer from some form of peripheral neuropathy (PN) and this number is much higher when worldwide statistics are considered. One major reason for the rise in incidence for these conditions of damage to the nerves in the body that results in pain and dysfunction in them is the increase in cases of diabetes and pre-diabetic syndromes. There are many other causes of PN however, including old age, viral infections, nutritional deficiencies, various autoimmune diseases, dysfunction of the arterial system (blood circulation) and drug-use of both prescribed types and varieties of illegal drugs. Within the chapters of this book, I address the types of symptoms involved in PN diseases, the types of nerves that can be affected and treatments that are administered to treat underlying causes of PN and to directly address its symptoms. NOTE: This book is approximately 5,779 words in length. It is not an extensive medical journal but rather contains aspects of information on the subject that most laypersons would be seeking. TABLE OF CONTENTS: CHAPTER ONE: My Personal Battle with Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) CHAPTER TWO: Nerve Damage from Diabetes and Metabolic Syndromes CHAPTER THREE: Other Systemic Diseases Associated with Development of PN CHAPTER FOUR: Viruses that Cause or Contribute to PN CHAPTER FIVE: Nutritional Deficiencies that Lead to PN CHAPTER SIX: Directly Addressing Symptoms of PN It is my sincere hope that this book will serve to gain its readers, a good general education on the subject of Peripheral Neuropathy.
